Music therapist, English teacher, founding director...these are but some of the many hats that Kate wears.
Throughout her university years, Kate was always interested in the way that music affects our brains. This led to studies in psychology, music, research and creative art-therapy. Her passion for travel and exploring the world led Kate to undertake these studies not only in Australia, but in Switzerland, and France.
Kate's passion for music started with the piano and the continued with the cello. She was a member of the Moreton Bay Symphony Orchestra for over 10 years and has played with the orchestra in both Australia and New Zealand.
Living permanently in France since 2019, Kate launched ECLAT in 2022, with the aim to combine her passions and experiences in order to enrich the lives of her patients and clients.
When not working, you'll find Kate at the beach, spending time with her partner, or sleeping.
